Removing friction so people can focus on what truly matters.
Founder of Sage · Fractional COO · AI Operations Architect.
I build systems that let founders and teams do their best work — and built Sage because first-time parents deserve the same clarity I spent 1,000 hours constructing for myself.
Get in Touch
Builder of momentum, remover of friction.
At 16, I left a small town in New Hampshire for Mexico as a Rotary Youth Exchange student. That year taught me something I've never unlearned: when time is finite, you pay attention differently. You ask what actually matters. You stop tolerating things that get in the way of it.
That instinct toward clarity and intention has followed me from Boston to Madrid to Lima to Miami, and into every company I've helped build or run. In business, I found the same friction wearing a different face: smart people trapped in operational chaos, talented teams unable to execute on a clear vision, founders who had become bottlenecks in their own companies.
I gravitated toward the Integrator role — the person who takes the Visionary's ideas and turns them into functional, scalable systems. I've lived that role across industries and continents, always returning to the same conviction: great execution isn't a luxury, it's the point.
Featured Venture
Sage: a guide, not a search bar.
When I became pregnant in January 2024, I was shocked by the absence of structured guidance. Medical care was reactive. The internet rewarded fear. I spent over 1,000 hours building the research system I wished had existed — then turned it into Sage through my Critical Challenge Project at Brown University.
Pregnancy is your Everest. Sage is your Sherpa.
Curriculum, Not Content
A cohesive week-by-week learning path with Things to Know, Things to Do, and Deep Dives. Parents follow a clear route — not a search bar.

Finite checklists and end-of-module closure signals give parents something no other resource offers: the confidence that they're genuinely done.

I'm also open to conversations about Sage, whether you're a potential advisor, investor, or early user who wants to shape what it becomes.
